This a joke. Israel itself can get away with a disgusting genocide, and the government does nothing about it, but people protesting against it are arrested. Get a fucking grip on some sort of moral compass labour.

Terror laws won’t mean anything if they keep abusing them like this.

Government giving Palestine Action a solid 2 months in the press and counting. I’d wager they would not have got this kind of attention even if they were breaching a different military base security for a new Banksy project every week.

It’s obvious that many PA activists intentionally desire to get arrested, but genuinely why – what purpose does this serve other than waste police time?
It’s not like they’re even protesting for Palestine. They’re literally protesting for a proscribed terrorist group – and the discussions will always focus on their questionable decisions as a consequence.
I’m genuinely curious about their motivations, is it egocentric – do they think they’ll go down in the history books as some sort of revolutionary figure, or do they genuinely believe that this will get people onside or even talking about the Isreal/Palestine conflict.

I do think this is very strange how police are cracking down on them so much.
You literally have to go to Celtic park every second week and you will see both individual and mass celebration, banners and sometimes tifos of a proscribed terrorist organisation yet the police do nothing there.

I mean if people go to a place they know there are police and purposefully dress and act in a way that breaks the law then it’s totally obvious they will be arrested.
It’s basically attention seeking by people for whom getting arrested has zero consequences, wealth, retired, chronically unemployed etc.
Maybe they overstepped I’m not sure, but the organisation did send people to sabotage military equipment, it’s kind of in the realms of a reasonable use of the law.
